Okay. You got me started! Here's the closing number from SHAWSHANK! the musical (The audience picked "Shawshank" for us to turn into a two act Broadway style musical.)
Things I really like about this...
- Nice, sweet scene into song. The scene is funny, takes its time and yet doesn't stall - it gets accomplished what it needs, to get to the ending of the story.
- Jason (playing Red) is great at creating stage balance.
- Nice melody for the chorus.
- Even though the chorus is long, and just when you think the entire song is going too long, we push through the energy to drive it to the end.
- Great ending tableaux.
The song itself starts at 3:15, if you want to skip ahead to that.
Cast: Jason Sperling (Red), Mike Shreeman (Andy), Pat Carton (the warden), Colleen McHugh (leads chorus), Nancy Howland Walker (chorus), Nadia Ahearn (chorus), Randy Craig (prisoner), Eric Svejcar on keyboards, Marc Greenstein on lights)
